Pearl Jam Hailed as Planet Defenders

More bands should follow in their footsteps countering the environmental impact of touring. I know Earth Day is already passed but we shouldn't pay attention to the environment only one day a year. According to Pollstar.com:

Pearl Jam snagged its win in the artist category for not only setting “the bar high in the world of rock music, but also in their dedication to environmental activism” during the group’s 20-year-career. A statement posted on Rock The Earth’s website on Friday points out that the band set up a “Carbon Portfolio Strategy” to offset the group’s environmental impact.

“Through this Strategy, the band has donated more than $150,000 to nine organizations doing innovative work around climate change, renewable energy, and the environment. By working with these organizations to mitigate carbon emissions, Pearl Jam ultimately hopes to become 0% net emissions for all tours and band businesses.”
